Installing MORE STORAGE and adding MORE SPACE on a School Bus // Skoolie Conversion

- I found this tool box of Craiglist for $50 and it added an extra 10 square feet to our bus. There is so much wasted space under the bus that you can capitalize on.
Here is a list of the other tools we have used.

Cant believe you've found that for $50 ! Ive been looking for so long and they are ridiculous expensive :(
I know! Definitely couldn't pass it up
BRILLIANT!!! IM MAKING ONE! WOW I DIDNT EVEN SEE YOU PUT THIS AT THE BACK TOO!
Haha do it!!
Great job. Thank you for your video. Love the,asleep at the wheel, pic. 😄
Youre very welcome! Thanks for watching!
that was so worth it for the after credits scene lol.
Haha I still cant believe he fell asleep mid walk. Lol completely passed out.
That came out great, we want to put several of them in on are bus. thanks for sharing
Thank you! Yeah it is very handy and plenty big enough for a lot of different things.
Great idea. Thanks for the vid
No problem 👍 Thanks for watching!
I sent this to someone for storage boxes. He took a pass lol!!
Cool. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I would build a brace for u under that box to help support it so u can put some real weight in it and watch for corrosion on the aluminum between the steel where it mounts it will rot the aluminum out having to dissimilar metals touching
Got it. Thanks for the tips.
Drowsy driving is just as dangerous as drunk driving! 😝
Good score on the box. It looks nice. Probably should store only light & bulky items since it's hanging from the top & we have some awful roads here. 👍🏻
Haha agreed! this box will more then likely hold some camp chairs and out longboards or some outside toys for Milo. So nothing too crazy/
Please tell me you added MANY more Braces and bolts to that storage box!!! Those tiny bolts will tear through in a VERY Short time!!.
I did add two more bolts. and did increase the washer size. We dont plan for putting anything heavy in there either. It'll certainly the do the job for us.
good info!
Thank you!
I think you should support with a frame or straps. Put enough weight in and you will probably end up loosing it on the road.
Good suggestion. But we dont intend to add a bunch of stuff down there. There's 4 3/16 bolts in it with a 1"washer on each. There would have to be a lot of weight for it to break.
Backroad Purpose while your driving your bus think of the extra stuff you put on it as going through an earth quake and tornado at the same time. If you don’t have straps and a lot bigger bolts it will fail. Just sayin.
@@charlotte97838 thanks for the advice!
I need to find me some tool boxes!
Yes! Check FB and CL. Search cargo box, tool box, toolbox, bed box, all of those usually bring up different posts
What a great idea! What are you going to do for your open ended rub rails on the side of the boxes?
Your video made us think using boxes on either side of the bus would be a great entrance for pass through storage!
Thanks for sharing your progress!
I'm just going to tack up a piece of metal to close it off. And we thought about the same idea but our frame rails are massive so unless the box hung a lot lower then the bus, we would only have like a 6inch boxon the middle side. So I didn't think it was worth it. We also plan on putting our generator and propane tank on the other side after I reroute the exhaust.
Backroad Purpose very well thought out! We like the idea on mounting a generator for another source of power when there hasn’t been enough solar production.
Keep rocking it, y’all!

What bit did you use to drill through the floor?
I believe it was a 1/4.Just big enough for the bolt to fun through!
Where did u get the storage boxs?? And where did u screw it n at it was too dark
I got the box off Facebook Market Place! It was like $50. It's a flatbed storage box. And I just bolted it up through the top of the box into the floor. 4 5/16 bolts.
How has this held up over time? Just curious if those bolts have pulled out of the box at all.
Its been great. I did run 2 extra bolts since I had them but ever before that it seemed super solid!
@@BackroadPurpose thanks for the response! I'm going to add a storage box under bus, but figured I'd need to add a frame to support it. Your method is way easier.
@@StevenNorth-1 yeah man no problem! I just made sure I had a big washer underneath so the bolt wouldn't pull through. A 1" washer is what I used. Going bigger never hurts.
I wonder if you shouldn't have used much larger washers, and maybe doubled them.
I did actually upgrade for a 1.5" just for peace of mind.
Isn't it upside down? I would have mounted the other way and installed some struts on the doors. Your way's easier, I rarely choose that way which is why I'm so good at doing nothing ( :
Lol I though about it but then I'd also have to crouch down lower to get underneath the door into the box this way gives me a little fold down table. E
I'm confused cause this looked pretty simple but you have another video where you say it was a huge job and you welded some stuff together. :(
Yeah this is a tool box I bought on FB Market place. The other boxes I made from scratch.
